I captured your heart and then I went away
From the beginning I planned not to stay
What kind of love do I have it's a puzzle to me
You were possessive and jealous of me
You are the man, so you have to be free
What kind of love that we feel it's a puzzle to me
This strange kind of love that we feel it's a puzzle to me
I don't know why I treat you so bad
I don't know why you make me so sad
I don't know why we waste all our time
I don't know why our love is so blind
I don't know what it is that we have
I don't know
Said I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
We met in a disco three years ago
You wanted to marry me but now I don't know
What kind of love do I feel it's a puzzle to me
This strange kind of love that we feel it's a puzzle to me
I don't know why I treat you so bad
I don't know why you make me so sad
I don't know why we waste all our time
I don't know why our love is so blind
I don't know what it is that we have
I don't know
Said I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
By the rivers of Babylon
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Requiring of us a song
Now how shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land
Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight
Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon (dark tears of Babylon)
There we sat down (You got to sing a song)
Ye-eah we wept, (Sing a song of love)
When we remembered Zion. (Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
By the rivers of Babylon (Rough bits of Babylon)
There we sat down (You hear the people cry)
Ye-eah we wept, (They need their God)
When we remembered Zion. (Ooh, have the power)
